In a gold or silver IRA, do I own physical metals or are they just on paper?

Rest assured that all IRA transactions that involve GoldSilver mean you’re getting real gold and silver. We will ship the gold and silver you order from our vaults to yours, and we’ll give you tracking information along the way. And the metal we ship to your storage facility is physically your gold and silver as long as you own it. So if you put a 100 oz bar of silver in your IRA, you’ll be able to take out the exact same bar when you’re ready.
